Large amounts of water ice exist below the Martian surface, as well as on the surface at the poles, where it is mixed with dry ice, frozen CO 2. Significant amounts of water are stored in the south pole of Mars, which, if melted, would correspond to a planetwide ocean 11 meters deep. Excerpt From: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terraforming_of_Mars ALSO: On September 26, 2013, NASA scientists reported the Mars Curiosity rover detected abundant, easily accessible water (1.5 to 3 weight percent) in soil samples at the Rocknest region of Aeolis Palus in Gale Crater.
